Other editing tips:
1. Joining two or more segments - hold down "Shift" and click on the segments you want to join, and then go to the "Edit" menu and choose "Join." That way you won't have to keep moving each separate segment in a track. "Command key" and "J" is the keyboard shortcut for this.
2. Selecting all segments - go to the "Edit" menu and "Select All." This allows you to move every single segment in your project without messing up the timing of the tracks. "Command key" and "A" is the keyboard shortcut for this.
II. Enhancing recordings by adding jingles, stingers, and sound effects
(Work with your partner from yesterday on enhancing the recording you made together)
Click on the jingles track and click the loop browser or the "eye," and then drag what you want into the track (or create another track)
III. Adding music
a. To add a musical loop, click on the jingles track and then the loop browser again, but then click on the musical notes in the bottom left hand corner. Again, drag to create the track.
